Chapter 241 The Peerless Cat Said So
Eternal Holy City, Ohmma, Kefal Plaza.

"Remember, Aglaia, whether it's the Golden Blood or the Senate, our rights are granted by the citizens!!"

In front of Aglaia, an elegantly dressed old lady was talking to Aglaia with a displeased expression.

A more accurate way to put it is that they came to cause trouble for Aglaia.

As a purger responsible for cleaning out the Golden Blood during the war and whose legacy continues to this day, Kennis has always been at the forefront of the resistance against the Golden Blood and the Fire Chasing Journey in Ohma.

The Golden Generation opposes whatever they advocate.

Even though they had once pledged allegiance to the Golden Blood, that was at the beginning of the Fire Chase, after their leader, Kayneth, was killed by Caesar Crydella, the Cleansers pledged allegiance to Crydella.

This is why they were able to have a place in the Senate.

During Crydella's reign, they were always obedient, but after Crydella left... they chose to continue their mission.

However, Aglaia's golden threads and nymphs wove an impenetrable net, making them no match for her. It was only after recent probing that they discovered Aglaia's humanity was gradually fading, which is why they dared to cause trouble.

"Therefore, whether it is you or us exercising our powers, we must accept the supervision of the citizens!"

“Of course, Your Excellency Kenneth, the Golden Clan is willing to accept the supervision of every citizen.”

Aglaia spoke with perfect precision, not giving Kenneth any opportunity to find fault with them or impeach them.

"Ah, I hope so."

Kenneth snorted and crossed his arms, speaking in a condescending tone.

"However, citizen oversight is necessary. The Golden Clan of Aglaia must accept an advisor from our Senate, who has the right to participate in all matters concerning the Golden Clan."

“We can accept oversight from any citizen, but we absolutely cannot accept advisors sent by your Senate.”

Aglaia crossed her arms and looked coldly at Kenneth.

Even though she has little humanity left, it doesn't mean she's unaware of Kenneth's plans and the Senate's intentions.

She intends to take this opportunity to extend her influence into the Fire Chasing Journey, and then use it as a political bargaining chip in their pursuit of power.

"The journey to the fire is not something you can use as a bargaining chip in a political game."

"Oh? Is that so? What if this is a decision made by the citizens' assembly?"

“I haven’t heard of any citizens’ assembly being held recently.”

Aglaia replied calmly.

"So we're about to convene a citizens' assembly; this is just a notification."

After saying that, Kenneth revealed a sinister smile and left without looking back.

At this moment, Tibo, who was standing next to Aglaia, looked at Aglaia with concern.

"Aya, are you alright?"

Aglaia gently shook her head.

"It's nothing, I was just a little worried..."

Aglaia paused, then said with a headache, "If the Senate uses this as a reason, the Citizens' Assembly will probably really pass this resolution."

Then the journey to seek fire will have an additional high-ranking advisor.

"Oh? That's rare. The seamstress actually made that kind of expression?"

In a shadowy corner of Place de la Cefalège, a girl with cat ears, short silver hair, and a hood revealed a sly smile.

"Perhaps this is a good opportunity to toy with the seamstress?"

As she spoke, Sai Feier tossed a coin into the air, and in the next instant, her figure vanished from the spot and appeared in an office of the Dawn Cloud Cliff Senate.

Sephiroth, Sefaria, the cunning demigod.

She was one of the Golden Blood who joined the Fire Chasing Journey very early on, and she had taken over the power of trickery long ago. However, compared with her other dutiful predecessors, she was elusive and unpredictable, rarely seen in Ohma.

Even Aglaia, who adopted her, couldn't accurately contact her.

"Let me see who the candidate is?"

"Huh? Why are all these names unfamiliar? Honestly!!"

Sai Fei'er flipped through the documents with a displeased expression, seemingly hoping to find one or two acquaintances among them.

It was quite obvious, however, that they were all people of unknown identity.

"The people in the Senate are really something. Why do they always have to come up with these crooked ideas? Can't they just support the Fire Chasing Journey directly? Why do they have to resort to these little tricks?"

"But it's okay? I'll just add a few more people."

As she spoke, Sai Feier suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"But who should we add? How about we add the seamstress's name?"

"No, this is too obvious..."

"Hey, I've got it! How about we add that guy again? The extraterrestrial who came to Ohmma..."

"Anyway, those guys all seem like decent guys."

"Hmm, let me think, Su Nian is a pretty good name... it's tasteful."

"Everyone else has joined the journey to seek the fire, why are you the only one not joining? That's a bit strange and uncooperative."

Sai Feier revealed a sly smile, then reorganized the data she had messed up, and placed the forged information about Su Nian on top.

Then he tossed the coin into the air again, and his figure vanished without a trace like lightning.

"But it's best to let that guy know about this first."

"Anyway, it's just a matter of being nominally registered... I don't believe he won't agree."
-
Yunshi Tiangong.

Su Nian lay on the soft cushion, looking at the Kefaller carrying the Dawn Machine on his back. He sensed someone calling his name and subconsciously blinked.

Then he frowned, looking at the distant scene, which was completely different from his previous leisurely and carefree state.

In the distance, the Dawn Machine, carried by the Necromancer Titan Cephallus, was already shattered and broken. Its core was emanating an unsettling and terrifying aura, and from time to time, heavenly fire rained down in all directions, like divine punishment.

The golden blood that flowed from Titan's hands had long since dried, and the once towering figure that stood there now seemed to be nothing more than an empty shell.

In this apocalyptic scene, even some visible buildings and reflections have turned into phantoms that could vanish at any moment.

"As expected, no matter when, this apocalyptic scene is still unbearable to look at."

"But this status quo, maintained by lies, is ultimately too fragile."

Su Nian rubbed his brow in distress. He was also troubled by the fact that he could accidentally see through the illusion and see the real scene.

His eyesight is too strong... what can he do?

Moreover, this is the result of seven hundred years of hard work by the peerless cat Sai Fei'er, so how could he have the nerve to expose it?

Just as Su Nian was pondering whether to solidify this lie, a voice appeared in her ear.

"I can't believe the seamstress didn't see through my 'trick,' but you, an alien, saw right through it." "Well, what can I do? The lie was just too convincing."

Su Nian stretched, looked up, and gazed at the adorable big cat wearing a hood.

"What can I do? I can only maintain this false status quo by lying..."

Saifei crossed her arms over her chest, her tail swaying behind her, and said helplessly.

In one of her previous pranks, she disguised herself as a priest and overheard an old priest saying that the Dawn Machine could only maintain its light for three hundred years.

If the Dawn Machine shuts down, Ohm will no longer be a holy city, and the Black Tide will inevitably sweep in. At that time, let alone the Journey to the Fire, even the survival of that seamstress will be a question.

"By the way, you absolutely mustn't tell the seamstress about this. I didn't keep up this scheme for her sake."

"I just thought it was cool."

Sai Fei'er stubbornly explained.

"Look at the world, it's already broken beyond repair, and I've deceived the whole world with trickery. How about that? Aren't you moved?"

Sai Feier opened her arms to Su Nian and said confidently.

"That's really cool."

Su Nian nodded in a perfunctory manner, assuming that Sai Feier wasn't lying.

"However, your lie is missing the most important point, which is the real reason why I saw through it."

Su Nian looked at this exceptionally good cat, who was secretly working hard and forging ahead against the world, and said with a smile.

Who wouldn't love an adorable big cat that only wants to save the world?

"Which point?"

Sai Feier brought her face close to Su Nian's and asked curiously, just like a curious big cat sniffing Su Nian's scent.

“Tell me, and I promise to change.”

"Su Nian, you don't want this apocalyptic scenario to become a reality, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian's lips twitched slightly. Ignoring Sai Feier's Japanese proverb that she had picked up from who-knows-where, Su Nian pushed away Sai Feier's delicate face and explained.

"Because you haven't even fooled yourself yet. If you can't even fool yourself, how can you be considered to be deceiving the world?"

"And how can this lie be made to be true?"

In the miniature garden, one of the necessary foundations for the gift of lying to be sublimated into power is to be able to deceive oneself and make oneself believe that it is not a lie, so as to be able to truly deceive the world.

Not to mention that Saifeier doesn't even dare to approach Aglaia now, for fear that Aglaia, who can see through people's hearts, will expose her lies, because she knows that it is a lie at all.

Naturally, they were terrified of being exposed by others, causing this apocalyptic scene to become a reality.

"Hiss, that's something I didn't expect."

Saifeier admitted that she really couldn't do that; deceiving herself was a bit difficult for this little cat.

If she can even do that, wouldn't she become a truly bad cat?

However, Sai Feier's talent was quite good. After Su Nian gave her a few pointers, she quickly put herself into hypnosis.

Soon, Su Nian realized that the scene of the eternal dawn outside had become much more realistic, at least she no longer had to worry about him accidentally seeing through it.

Perhaps, even after Sai Fei'er dies, this lie can continue for a while longer.

At this moment, Sai Feier suddenly remembered her real purpose in coming to find Su Nian, which was not to ask Su Nian to instruct her on how to use lies, tricks, and powers.

Instead, she informed Su Nian in advance what surprise she had prepared for her.

"..."

"You mean you've made me an advisor for the Senate to monitor the Golden Clan's journey to the Fire Chaser..."

Su Nian looked at Sai Feier without saying a word.

"Hey, Su Zi, don't be angry. You're just an advisor anyway. You don't have to do anything. Just watch from the sidelines."

Sai Fei'er seemed worried that Su Nian was angry, so she patted Su Nian's shoulder with a smile that showed she was considering Su Nian's feelings.

It was as if she and Su Nian were very familiar with each other, even though this was indeed their first meeting.

"Oh? Is that so? Aren't you worried that I'll use my advisory power to act recklessly?"

"Cough cough..."

Sai Fei'er froze. She really hadn't thought of that. She was well aware of the consequences of an outsider instructing an expert.

I'm not afraid of leaders who are incompetent; I'm afraid of leaders who know nothing and give orders blindly.

She's noticed that Su Nian seems quite relaxed lately. She's either going to have tea with that divine audience member, wandering around, or playing with the communication stone tablet.

Although she didn't know how Su Nian became so familiar with that Antikythera man, Lai Gu Shi, she dared not approach that mysterious guy, fearing that her lie might be exposed in the blink of an eye.

"In that case, you can just stay next to me and keep an eye on me, right?"

Su Nian touched her chin and gave Sai Feier an idea.

"You don't know, I'm an emperor in outer space, you know? And I'm also an honorary director of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which rules over countless star systems."

"I'm just here on vacation in Onpharos and forgot to bring any servants. You can easily pretend to be a maid I've hired..."

Upon hearing this, Sai Feier subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Su Nian with a wary expression.

"I have a feeling that you have ulterior motives."

Looking at Su Nian's "sincere" eyes, one could sense that she was thinking, "If you don't watch over me, I can do whatever I want."

Saifeier was at a loss... After all, she was the only designated cat who would betray the world.

She wasn't unwilling to sacrifice herself for the journey to chase the fire.

She wanted to see what kind of expression the seamstress would have when she discovered her identity.
Thinking of this, Sai Fei'er's eyes flickered, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

“But my salary is very high... You have to give me at least a gem the size of... that Dawn Machine.”

As she spoke, Saifeier pointed to the Dawn Machine Road, which was radiating light.

"That's it? One a day? Don't tell me I can't afford it."

Su Nian waved his hand and said, "It's just a gem the size of the Dawn Machine. I can get one that's bigger than a planet."

Don't underestimate the power of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"...I always feel like I've been taken advantage of."

Looking at Su Nian's magnanimous demeanor, Sai Feier murmured softly, "And how is she going to move such a huge gemstone..."

Unlike Sai Fei'er, who was somewhat questioning her life choices, Su Nian was in a pretty good mood. She had adopted an amazing cat for a negligible amount of money, which was a huge win!
